 * Very nice! I have substituted "English" by "anglin". Does anyone know a better word for it in Quenya? Iron gollum 00:12, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anglin is easy to be understood for English. However, if to cognate a Quenya for 'English', I perhaps prefer lambë Inwinóreva or lambë Ingilnóreva 'language of England', cf. Qenya Inwinóre, Ingilnóre 'England' (QL: 42, LT2)--Bellenion 12:08, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's better if it's just one word, instead of a few words. As you said, Anglin is well understood as English, so it's better to make things simple. Last Waterbender 12:17, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then I would prefer ingilnin or inwin. AFAIK, -in is a common ending for constructing people- or country-related adjectives. I agree with Last Waterbender that one word would be better in this context. After all, one denotes a link with "English" and not with "the English language". Iron gollum 12:36, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps we should go for Inwinórin or Ingilnórin, while -nórë by itself stands for 'race, tribe, people', cf. Q Sindarin as 'Grey-elven' derived from Sindar 'Grey-elves' as the plural form of Sinda 'Grey-elf'?--Bellenion 12:57, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I would opt for Inwinórin. Iron gollum 13:02, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think Ingilnórin sounds more like English, for easy understanding. What do you think? Last Waterbender 14:47, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's true, but Inwinórë seems more common to me than Ingilnórë (compare the numbers of google search results and, for instance). I would wait for Bellenion's opinion. Iron gollum 15:09, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I personally favor the sound of Ingilnóre for the same reason as Waterbender, but the search results of Inwinóre overwhelm the former :( ... So I vote for inwinórin for 'english'--Bellenion 17:07, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok *sigh*, I'll also vote for inwinórin then. Last Waterbender 15:34, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
